    Habermas: A Very Short Introduction

    Written by Gordon Finlayson

    Narrated by Christine Williams

    About this audiobook

    This book gives a clear overview of the philosophical work of Jürgen Habermas, the most influential German philosopher alive today, who has commented widely on subjects such as Marxism, the importance and effectiveness of communication, the reunification of Germany, and the European Union.

    Gordon Finlayson provides listeners with a clear overview of Habermas's forbiddingly complex philosophy using concrete examples and accessible language. He then goes on to analyze both the theoretical underpinnings of Habermas's social theory, and its more concrete applications in the fields of ethics, politics, and law; and concludes with an examination how Habermas's social and political theory informs his writing on contemporary, political, and social problems.

      Was comprehensive, excellent really, but so dense. Will need to listen to the whole at least one more time. Tough going through the first time, but brilliant.
